Package: bluez Version: 5.37 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
BlueZ has introduced the btattach command in release 5.37, as the successor to hciattach. It seems to be the new recommended tool to enable recently-supported chipsets, including in particular some Broadcom combo chipsets using SDIO for Wi-Fi and UART for Bluetooth. This is for instance the case on the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 8, which is using a Broadcom 43241 rev B5 chip. The command to enable that Bluetooth device is: $ btattach --bredr /dev/ttyS1 -P bcm # Sadly, this also requires a binary firmware but that's another issue. Could you please include this new btattach tool when you package the next BlueZ version 5.37, and configure it in a way that it will enable such Bluetooth chipsets directly at boot time? I would be glad to evaluate experimental packages to confirm if this is working properly on the ThinkPad Tablet 8 or not. Right now, I have Bluetooth working but only in a manual way: recent Linux kernel and BlueZ 5.37 compiled locally and btattach launched manually.
